IMPROVEMENT IN CAP AND COLLAR COMBINED.

Specification forming part of Letters Patent No. 202,262, dated April 9,1878 application led March 20, 1878.

To all whom it may concern:

Beit known that I, Moirrz IsIDoR, of the city, county, and State of NewYork, have invented a new and useful Improvement in Cap and OollarCombined, which improvement is fully set forth in the followingspecification, reference being had to the accompanying drawing, inwhich- Figure l represents a plan of my article when the collar isunfolded and the cap wit-hdi-awn from its pocket. Fig. 2 is a side viewof the same when worn. Fig. 3 is a transverse section in the plane w w,Fig. l, when the cap is concealed in the pocket.

Similar letters indicate corresponding parts.

This invention consists in the combination, with a cap, of a collarwhich is fastened to the rear portion of the cap, and provided with apocket adapted to receive the cap when the same is folded up, so thatwhen the cap is drawn out of its pocket and put on the head the collarforms a protection for the back of Vthe head, the neck, the ears, thelower portions ofthe face, the throat, and the chest; and when the capis folded up and put in the pocket'of the collar, said collar can beworn like an ordinary collar, either alone or together with any suitablehead-covering.

In the drawing, the letter A designates a cap, made of cloth or anyother suitable material, and so constructed that it can be readilyfolded up, as shown in Fig. 3, or that it can be unfolded, as shown inFigs. l and 2.

To the rear edge of this cap is secured a collar, B, which may be madeof fur, lined with silk, or of any other suitable material, and which isprovided with a pocket, a, for the reception of the cap when the latteris folded up, as shown in Fig. 3.

When the cap is withdrawn from said pocket and put on the head, as shownin Fig. 2, the collar extends down over the rear portion of the head andover the neck; and when the iiaps of the collar are fastened together bybuttons b, or other suitable fastenings, said collar forms a protectionfor the ears, the lower part of the face, the throat, and the chest,leaving only the nose and the eyes exposed.

When the cap is folded up and concealed in the pocket a, the collar Bcan be used like an ordinary collar of the same class, and it can beworn with any other head-covering, if desired.

The great convenience of this article for persons exposed to theincleineney of the weather is apparent, and requires no furtherexplanation. My cap and collar combined can also be used with advantageby travelers in railroad-cars, stages, and other conveyances.

Iam aware that fur collars have been made with pockets for the receptionof ear-muffs. Such I do not claim. Neither do I claim a cap providedwith a face and neck protector, such being well known.

What I claim as new, and desire to secure by Letters Patent, is

As a new article of manufacture, a cap and collar combined, the collarbeing provided with a pocket for the reception of the cap when thelatter is folded up, substantially as set forth.

In testimony that I claim the foregoing I have hereunto set my hand this14th day of March, 1878.
